Hope
Despair and joy are
Closer than you think
There is one thing that
Bridges them together
It’s that one thing
That people try not to
Have too much of
It can lead you into being
Strong, other times it can
Lead to into being weak
Sometimes when it’s false
It does more help than when
It’s real
Hope is the bridge
Between despair and joy...
When We Get To It
They say, “Hope is the bridge
Between despair and joy,”
But what would happen if
The bridges start to fall?
They say when you come to
A bridge, you should cross it,
But I grew up hearing
A different saying.
It was, “We’ll burn that bridge
Whenever we get there.”
So I burned all of mine,
Every last one of them.
If there’s nothing left now,
It’s probably my fault.
I know I can’t fix it, ...
Hope (idk)
“Hope is the bridge
between despair and joy.”
A quote so true especially
about a certain boy.
—————————
Stop being smart,
that’s too attractive—
Stop having a heart,
I don’t think my heart can take it.
Stop smiling and joking,
you’re literally so fine—
Stop grinning and talking
with that smooth, deep voice
of yours.
Stop the humor,
I’ve already fallen.
Stop the rumors,
I can’t handle
hearing y...
Dashed Hope
Hope is the bridge between despair and joy. Hope allows a lot,
But it also derails
And as it unravels,
The joy begins to rot
And you’re back to despair
But it can’t be repaired
Life isn’t fair
And maybe God doesn’t care.
Don’t give me hope and then take it away,
Do not get up and leave
when you’ve told me you’d stay.
I can’t take any more pain,
I’m sorry to complain,
But I cannot breathe
When I’...
Hope and others
Hope is the bridge
between despair and joy,
A flicker of light
in the middle of the dark.
Joy is the fulfillment
between life and love,
A spark of fire
while the rest are only sticks.
Love is the heart
between distancing and giving,
A piece of red
on a blank white page.
Giving is the act
between force and appreciation,
A hand reaching out
for someone with need....
The Bridge From The Ashes
The rickety bridge splays out before me. It’s long, stretching out into the dense blanket of fog ahead. As dire as it is now, I cannot move. I cannot make the trek forward.
“Simona, come on!” My lemur Pip takes me by the finger. “This bridge here takes us over the Cerulean Sea! If we run now, we can catch the perpetrator!”
My body sags against his pull. I’m like the chains that once held his lit...
Lantern
Hope is a bridge between despair and joy
Without one, the bridge wouldn’t exist
Its a bendy path, covered by mist
Hope is a lantern, hold it high
Light wouldn’t exist without the dark
And life wouldn’t been seen without light
Rainy days reminds us not to take things for granted
No umbrella can save you
Some flowers don’t wait to bloom
Their colors show at all times
But, they never take for gran...
